Brandon and Evan return! To ramble about what they’ve been up to, and why there’s no Season Four yet… It’s been a busy time in the bunker, as hosts Brandon and Evan have been up to a variety of Stuff and Things.

Whetting Your Whistle
Season 3, Episode 6: Adrian Harewood + Waubgeshig Rice
The computer is getting snippy and calling everything “classified” or “redacted.” While we debug, enjoy our final Season 3 episode with award-winning CBC journalist Adrian Harewood and acclaimed author and journalist Waubgeshig Rice, discussing their long friendship, activism, systematic change, and how they stay hopeful.
Season 3, Episode 5: KT Bryski + Cortni Fernandez
No matter what Brandon says, there are skeletal deer out and about, and they ain’t going away.

With bonus text appearance…
Season 3, Episode 4: Tracy Townsend + John Wiswell

Season 3, Episode 2: Marcus Choi + Derrick Williams
Back after a (slight) delay – caused by an invasion of British redcoats! Never fear, we have the perfect pair to help us beat them back, or at least keep us entertained until it’s safe outside. Join us for a chat with Marcus Choi (Hamilton, Wicked, The OA) and Derrick Williams (The Book of Mormon,…
Season 3, Episode 1: Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen
As the animal uprising threatens to tear Ottawa apart (but who can blame them, really), we’re joined by both halves of the Shale Project, Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen, to discuss living through tough crap, fixed mindsets vs growth mindsets, sales pitches for Tides of Numenera and Hades, and being parents to reptiles. Welcome back…

Season 2 Finale! w/ KT Bryski and Erin Rockfort
Brandon has regained control of the transmitter, with just enough power to report on something NEW in the bunker.

Check…
Season 2, Episode 6 – Geoff Gander and Kate Heartfield
Despite various warnings and portents, Evan is still sequestered in the deepest corner of the bunker – with even more buttons!
